The Eternal Wall
A downloadable realm
A gargantuan stone wall spans indefinitely toward both ends of the horizon. As you approach it, the sky is hidden by a bleak mask of charcoal clouds pierced only by a hazy ring of blood red sunlight.
You enter a field littered with towering slabs of broken masonry, all scattered from an enormous gap smashed clear through the heart of the wall. Fires rage, mixing dark, choking smoke with the clouds, and bizarre, mangled creatures shackled in rattling chains relentlessly patrol the area.
Save your Soul
The Eternal Wall is a low-level Realm for the solo souls-like TTRPG RUNE by Spencer Campbell (GilaRPGs) with an emphasis on stealth and careful movement.
A massive wall stands at the edge of a regal domain. But what should have been impenetrable has now been destroyed beyond hope of repair. The area is now infested with vicious fiends, and whatever broke the Eternal Wall is still here.
Watching.
Waiting.
The Eternal Wall contains:
- A brand new Realm for RUNE, designed for new Engraved just starting their travels, or experienced players looking to try out new equipment.
- New gear to use in combat and take with you into other Realms.
- New enemies to fight.
- A powerful new Rune, if you can take it from its current wielder.
- Stealth-based exploration with a reward for those who can successfully evade the Rune Lord's watchful eye.
The Eternal Wall was a submission for the RUNE Jam. Be sure to check out all of the other submissions, too!

Running this Realm as my first Realm and I have a question about the "Whenever you travel to this point…" rule, do I have to do the check everytime I travel to that point.
If yes, when I fail the Action Check, do I have to fight the enemies again? Or I can keep going to other actions if I already marked the Fight action?
The action check is just to potentially trigger the fight, so if the fight is already marked you can skip the check! Otherwise, you make the check every time you travel to the point, since the enemies are still there.
I'll make a note to clarify this when I have a chance.
Ah, I understand thank you so much.
